He also related that a Jew was elected National Student Organization Chairman, that the Holocaust was taught in schools, that Jews can walk safely in London, and that the Chief Rabbi delivers a 20-minute Rosh HaShana televised address, while the Archbishop of Canterbury and the queen are given only ten and five minutes, respectively.
